The National Economics Challenge is one of the most influential economics competitions in the United States. After 17 years of development, the competition attracts more than 10,500 student competitors every year and is widely recognized by top financial institutions on Wall Street and the top US colleges.

On May 18-20, the 2019 NEC was held in New York, as scheduled. One team, consisting of G10 students Ka Chun Hong, Aaron Eugene Zhang, Amemiya Yuki, and Andrew Tian-Yu Pei, made it into the final global round after standing out in the preliminary China round. After two days of competition, they finally came in second place among all the teams from China. Moreover, Ka Chun Hong was chosen as the only student representative to receive a special interview by CNBC, the famous US Business TV channel. Congratulations!
